Motivational Exercise Quotes

Motivational Exercise Quotes are thought provoking quotes that inspire us to make effective changes in our life to become a happier, healthier person.

All of us want to keep fit but our daily priorities makes us postpone it to the background and do them only when we have spare time.I am also guilty of this and only when I feel the pounds adding on to my body or feel the scare of developing any chronic disease do I attempt to take on an exercise program. Looking for ways to overcome this lethargy I found reading motivational quotes on exercises a great help.They share the benefits in simple words effectively and inspire you to take action.

As Cicero wisely advises us "It is exercise alone that supports the spirits, and keeps the mind in vigor".

I hope the inspiring exercise quotes in this lens motivates you to start exercising with more interest and regularity.
